The few not fleeting

I was born to walk on water
I came to be the few not fleeting
I still bleed like any other
I came to be the few not fleeting

My body's numb and my will breaks
Head immersed beneath the waves
Sky''s light begins to fade
It''s the end they''d say
Eyes dilate
Spot of sun's not too far away
Hope is not lost I must hold on

I am only a man
But I will be more, more than I am
Fighting I will stand
I am one against a sea that runs

Our scars bind us as brothers
I came to be the few not fleeting
Define what makes a man, it's how we stand when we suffer
I came to be the few not fleeting

There's no escape from the gale's rise
Though fear in my heart, there's a fire in my eyes
It seems that everything in the stars and the sky is against me
I won't go without a fight
I'll breathe in hope and bathe in light
